What is an Environmental Impact Study?

An Environmental Impact Study (EIS), otherwise known as an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), is a tool for assessing the impacts of development on the natural environment.

An EIS can be used to confirm the presence and extent of natural features, assess the potential impacts of a development proposal, and determine an appropriate mitigation strategy.

Aster Environmental specializes in completing Environmental Impact Study reports for severances, variances, zoning bylaw amendments, Conservation Authority permits, cottage developments, and all other development approvals. We have prepared EIS reports in numerous local jurisdictions, including Bruce County, Grey County, Simcoe County, Haliburton, Peterborough, Muskoka, Kawartha Lakes, Parry Sound, Hastings, Northumberland, York, Peel, Brant, and more!

We guide our clients through environmental planning considerations, including reviewing project alternatives, mitigation measures, and all ecological considerations throughout the life of your development application.

Q: Does completion of an EIS guarantee approval of my application?

A: We strive to work collaboratively with clients and approval agencies to seek solutions. Our work receives consistent agency approvals in jurisdictions across Ontario.

Q: How much does an EIS cost?

A: The cost for this type of work relates directly to the scope required by the approval authority. We work closely with approval authorities to determine an acceptable scope of work that balances the needs of all parties. Our costs are highly competitive and flexible.

Q: How long will it take to receive my completed EIS report?

A: In some cases, an EIS can be completed based on a single field survey. We prioritize the schedules of our clients, often offering a turn-around time of weeks, not months.

We welcome any and all questions regarding the process of completing an Environmental Impact Study. Send us an email or give us a call to speak directly with a qualified Ecologist!
